The Kindle is a software and hardware platform that allows users to read book electronically.
How can you use it?
There are obvious uses for the reading classroom. If a teacher was to have a class set, he/she could order books for the class to read either the same book or different books for each student.
In other subject areas students could use the Kindle for research since encyclopedias and other reference books can be purchased for the Kindle.
Why would you use it?
Students would benefit from using the Kindle by having the ability to download books with the click of a mouse. Students could take turns reading books on the Kindle or all read the same book. It might motivate students who do not like to read a traditional book.
Pros- The Kindle would allow instant access to thousands of books.
